Product Information
Full details
The Statement Wall-Mounted Letterbox is designed for homeowners seeking a secure, modern, and spacious solution for their daily mail collection. Its primary benefit is the large, durable frame that easily handles letters, newspapers, and magazines while offering a sleek, contemporary silver aesthetic. While it offers excellent capacity and security, potential buyers should be aware that it is not suitable for installation in coastal environments due to the material's susceptibility to corrosion in salty air.

FAQs
Can I install this on a wooden fence?
Yes, provided the fence is sturdy enough to support the weight of the box and you use appropriate screws for wood rather than the masonry fixings supplied.
What should I do if I lose both keys?
As this is a standard locking mechanism, you may need to replace the cam lock entirely if both keys are lost, as spare keys are not individually tracked.
Is the box waterproof?
The design is weather-resistant and will keep your mail dry under normal rainfall, though it should be positioned in a sheltered area if possible.
How far from the coast can I install this?
The manufacturer specifies that this product is not suitable for properties within 20 miles of the coast due to the high salt content in the air causing corrosion.
Does it fit A4 envelopes?
Yes, the dimensions are specifically designed to accommodate A4-sized letters and magazines without folding.
Troubleshooting
Key is difficult to insert or turn
Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the lock cylinder; avoid using oil-based lubricants as they can attract grit.
Box feels loose on the wall
Check that the mounting screws are fully tightened and that the wall plugs are correctly sized for the material of your wall.
Surface showing signs of spotting
Clean the surface with a mild detergent and water, then dry thoroughly with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure you have a masonry drill bit if mounting to brick or stone. Use a spirit level to ensure the box is perfectly straight before marking your drill holes. When selecting a mounting location, avoid areas prone to heavy rain runoff or salt exposure. To care for your silver letterbox, wipe it down periodically with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and pollutants. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can scratch the metallic finish.
